What we liked

  • + Pre-waxed braided thread that the listing says does not stretch or tangle in bead weaving
  • + 125 yards on a spool with a clear plastic clip that keeps the thread secure and organized
  • + Black suits dark beadwork, and ends can be burned to seal them instead of snipped

Trade-offs

  • - A single black spool, not a two-color bundle, so light beadwork needs a separate pale thread
  • - The listing recommends sharp, precise scissors or a thread burner for cutting this strong fiber
